The author attempts to define the most relevant formats of civil- military relationships. In order to do it, the author refers to the experience from the USA, Western Europe, Russia and China. Classical Western system of civil-military relationships can be found in the USA and Western Europe and characterized by the strict separation of an army from politics and vice versa. This leads to the situation, when an army has no influence on the spheres of civic power, while also weakening the link between politics and strategy. The author claims that the western approach to the regulation of civilmilitary relationships cannot be implemented outside of the West. Thus, although Russian political system is characterized as a system with weak political institutes, the Russian model demonstrates the ability of state to control military forces. In China, where political elite dominates an army, the system of civil-military relationships is also tacit. Many aspects of the Chinese system with the communist party`s control of an army has much in common with the Soviet experience. However, it does not reduce the significant unique characters of the Chinese system.
